The local bids and awards committee disqualifies the lowest bidder, leaving only one of two firms which participated in the process standing.
CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – Piles of garbage have accumulated on street corners and roads in Cagayan de Oro for over a month following the termination of the local government’s long-term contract with a waste collection company.
The previous collector, IPM Waste CDO, stopped its garbage collection services in the city after nearly a decade of operations. Its contract with city hall expired on January 31. IPM was the second company to serve as Cagayan de Oro’s primary garbage collector since city hall started outsourcing waste collection services in the city during the administration of the late mayor Vicente Emano in the late 1990s.
Only two companies – Metroways Construction and Jomara Construction – participated in the bidding process in February. “Metroways has until Thursday to appeal. If it appeals, then a decision would be made immediately,” he said.
